I myself will help you. George
Milne. Fear Not. 1854. I am the LORD your God, who takes
hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear, I will help
you. Do not be afraid, O worm Jacob,
O little Israel, for I myself will help you, declares the LORD,
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 41, 13 and 14. What is more helpless than a
child without its mother's hand? Reader, what is more helpless
than you without Christ? You can neither stand nor walk
alone, but God, who takes hold of your right hand, says to you,
Do not fear, I will help you. He will help you against sin,
against Satan, against the world, against your own evil heart. He will help you when you are
weary, when you are downcast, in the time of trial and in the
hour of temptation. He will help you to understand.
He will help you to pray. He will help you to fight. He
will help you to avoid the snares. He will help you to despise the
vanities of this poor world. Ah, my fellow sinner, this help
is promised because you need it all. What a world of temptation,
sin, and danger What a world of darkness and confusion you
live in. There is none to help you, none
to teach you, none to lead you on your way, but Jehovah Jesus. Do not be afraid. He will hold
you by the right hand saying, I will help you. Do you say,
the way is long, and I am weary? The road is dark, and I have
no light? Temptations are many, how shall
I resist them? I need grace, where can I find
it? Oh, how shall I persevere? Afflicted
soul, is there no helper? Is there none to pity? Is there
none to guide? Where is your heavenly Father?
Where is Jesus? Where is the Comforter? Where
is He who feeds His flock like a shepherd, who gathers His lambs
in His arms and carries them close to His heart? – Isaiah
40.11 Where is He who has promised to hold you by the right hand,
saying, Do not be afraid, I will help you? Lift up your eyes to
the hills, from whence comes your help. Your help comes from
the Lord, who made heaven and earth. Happy is he who has the
God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God. Fear not. Psalm 121 and 146 5
